As for the quilting, just jump in ...Thank you! :)<br /><br />As for the quilting, just jump in and give it a shot. My first quilt was just straight stitch-in-the-ditch, and there's a lot of wiggling as I learned, but it came out fine and it's warm and pretty. Plus doing it that way means the manipulation of the quilt while on the sewing machine is minimal - just roll it up on both sides around the seam you're going to quilt through, and sew straight down the seam.<br /><br />I'm still doing just straight-line quilting at this point, I'm just doing it at odd angles and in patterns, there's a lot you can do without ever trying to FMQ. I've done a tiny tiny bit of FMQ but not on a big quilt yet. :)Alasselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12554414184050952618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617948861971916989.post-40057714731706342232012-01-04T10:22:46.357-08:002012-01-04T10:22:46.357-08:00Wow, you get a lot done. I'm about to start on...Wow, you get a lot done. I'm about to start on the first quilt since I made one with my grandma's help when I was 10, as soon as my sewing machine comes back from it's tune up. I'm not sure if I'll do any actual quilting or just do ties for it though. Even though I have a quilting machine (Janome Quilting Companion), I am not all that confident on the actual quilting part.K-Koirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933780350863090595noreply@blogger.com
